The workshop in a few words:
A series of actions will take place within the context of the story. With the use of the imagination the group will be invited to discover the story’s gaps, develop new aspects and create a new environment. They participants will step into the main character’s shoes, create the story’s scenery and soundscape, propose still images, answer dilemmas and reflect on ethical as much as practical issues that arise from the story. Ultimately, they create their own sustainable environment.
Why should anyone participate in this workshop?
Because it's exciting!
Because there is no 'right' and 'wrong' response to the issues of the story. One discovers the right answer for themselves.
Because one enhances their own skills: Communication, leadership, empathy, active listening, empowerment, teamwork are some of the skills strengthened. Similarly, one becomes aware of one’s expressive means: body posture, verbal and non-verbal communication etc.
